There may be an icon there, as there is a place in Cattlemax, for income and expenses.
I think those are mostly so you can assign some specific costs (like a vet bill or sale of an animal?) to a specific animal. Or make a note of general expenses such as feed, hay, etc.
But these are NOT really accounting programs. There is no checkbook register nor way to assign some types of items such as assets, or enter a loan, or land value, nor wage expenses, etc. An accounting program, or use a for real accountant, is necessary if you really want to know how you are doing.
Running a cattle operation without an accounting program or accountant is like having a baseball game without a scoreboard, or worse if your living depends on the cattle. But you need accounting, in my opinion, even if this is just a "hobby". You need a scoreboard.
